Can you become a teacher with a bachelor or arts degree in business administration?

Answer 1

Traditionally, many aspiring art teachers complete a bachelor's degree program in art education. However, students can also become art teachers after obtaining a bachelor's degree in media and fine arts. Many students concentrate in a specific art-related field, such as art history, graphic arts, painting or digital art. Accordingly, classes may differ but generally cover topics in color theory, design and painting.

Bachelor's degree programs in art education generally include teacher education preparation programs so that college graduates can earn their credentials and begin teaching after graduation. Teacher education programs typically require students to complete supplemental courses in lesson planning, classroom management and teaching methods. Additionally, students are assigned to teach at a school under the supervision of a licensed teacher. This allows students to apply learned methods and techniques, as well as gain teaching experience. So in simple form, no.
